Несмотря на то что телемедицина в последние 20 лет активно развивается во всем мире, законодательство зарубежных стран не выработало универсального механизма, позволяющего достичь таких главных целей телемедицины, как удобство, эффективность и доступность. Вызовы, с которыми столкнулся мир в 2020 году, показали потребность в совершенствовании системы здравоохранения государств, а телемедицинские технологии применялись рядом стран при организации борьбы с новой коронавирусной инфекцией. Такой опыт должен быть воспринят государствами как положительный и использоваться при подготовке законодательных изменений, направленных на совершенствование регулирования телемедицины. Совместная работа государств в сфере развития телемедицинских технологий позволит сформировать опыт и знания, которые возможно будет использовать при трансформации телемедицинской помощи …

There are three approaches to legal experiments (including digital innovations) in Russia. The first approach is accepting special regulation on different issues. There are recent examples of special laws (e.g. Federal Law on the experiment with artificial intelligence technologies in Moscow). An alternative …
